Arkansas Registered Agent

You can do an Arkansas business name search via the Arkansas Secretary of State.

Type in the name of the company you’re searching for.

In the results, you’ll find the registered agent’s name and registered office street address.

If you want to legally notify a business through their Arkansas registered agent service, just send a certified letter directly to the registered agent name and registered office address.

Yes. Choose or hire an agent first, then form your LLC or corporation. The Secretary of State will reject your business registration filing if you don’t include your registered agent’s contact information when you submit your documents.

When you hire Northwest as your registered agent in Arkansas, you’ll find all the forms and instructions you need to complete your filing instantly after you place an order.

Serving a registered agent is legal proof that you were notified. Regardless of whether you receive the documents your registered agent signs for on your Arkansas business’s behalf, once they accept the documents, you’ve been notified. Here’s how it works:

• A process server, the county sheriff, or any third party comes to the registered office and hand the agent the documents (service of process), which the agent signs for.
• The process server then gives an affidavit (a receipt of service) to the court as confirmation that they served the agent.

Note: If you’ve hired Northwest, you’ll receive your documents well before the server hands in their affidavit to the court—because we scanned them to your online account within minute of having been served.

To resign as a registered agent in Arkansas, you need to submit a Statement of Registered Agent Resignation with the Arkansas SOS. For a more detailed walkthrough, you can refer to our guide on how to resign as a registered agent in Arkansas.

We accept and scan all of our Arkansas clients’ documents on-site at our registered office in Mountain Home, AR.

We don’t want ALL of your business mail. It’s not what we do, and it wouldn’t serve you well either, as you wouldn’t have a unique address or suite number. Any mail we’d receive on your behalf would come to Northwest Registered Agent, care of you.

But we understand that businesses and clients sometimes reach out to you through your registered agent. Through us. That’s why we give you five FREE scans of regular business mail a year. You can request any additional documents to be forwarded at a per document rate of $15.

Absolutely! If you own an LLC or corporation in Arkansas, you’ll need to file your Annual Franchise Tax Report each year. As part of our registered agent service, we’ll not only send you a reminder, but we’ll give you the form you need to file and instructions on how to file it.
